This video is awesome. My father was an Army Drill Sergeant and I remember vividly growing up on Fort Sill from 1970 to 1978. Of course I followed in his footsteps and subsequently became a USAF Drill Instructor (MTI) and just retired a few years ago.
Why not Army?
I was drafted into the U.S.Army in 1968 during the Vietnam war. Nobody failed basic training during that era, The Drill Sergeants “fixed” it so everybody graduated basic training. I saw Drill Sergeants firing a trainees weapon for him on the rifle range so he could qualify on the rifle & pass that course so he could graduate basic training. Uncle Sam needed body counts in Vietnam!
In the 1990s, there was some of that, but infantry OSUT had a 50 percent attrition rate.
This is obviously a recruitment film. It's accurate except for the Drill Sergeant's temperament. I can guarantee you that no drill sergeant in the 70s was ever that nice. EVER
I whole heartily disagree. 1967 basic @ Ft. Knox Sargeant López. Told all of us in our platoon to pay attention and learn what's being taught and he would never treat us badly. Just outperform the other platoons. Never called us 💩heads. We were #"1....Enjoyed the time in the Army. 30 months. 45 G 20 and more...
You’ve never been to basic training without experiencing the “Shark Attack”! Today’s basic training is just junior high school Summer Camp!
Not during the 20th century anyway!
@@happyinparadise7812Really???
Definitely softened it up for the camera. 😂
Wasn’t expecting that musical choice at 5:02!
Ive never been in the military but i feel this is candy coated
Sk8 and destroy. I was. They weren’t so nice. It was during the Vietnam War. They didn’t fool around. However, I must admit a sense of accomplishment upon Graduation from Basic Training. It’s followed me all my life.
It is!!!
Ft Jackson where this was filmed, "A-10-2, First to Fight, Last to Run, Yay Alpha!" was our battle cry that summer of 74', we were in the old wooden WW2 barracks. Hot. Every Drill Sgt had a Nam combat patch on their right sleeve, and a Combat Infantryman Badge above their US Army patch, more than half had purple hearts. Tough, Foul mouthed, and some were very hands on, but every one of them wanted us to succeed and passed on real world, real Army, real combat tips. It sucked, but glad I did it.
Basically what I experienced at Jackson in '81! "Tank Hill"!
Lmao I noticed they had locks on their duffel bags God help you if it was unsecured
Private Pyle learned that
There was widespread thievery among the troops in Vietnam, you learned to lock your shit
Fort Jackson S.C., Tank and Drag-Ass hill. Still had the old WWII barracks.
"OMG, What Have I Gone And Done!"
Tell me you say something like that on your 1st night in Boot Camp.
Steven Wiederholt I said it the day I took my pledge at the induction center in Newark NJ. In 1964. And to think I enlisted. But I would do it again
@@jimgag2
One of the main things I got out of the AF was, how to get along with and work with people I have nothing in common with.
AIR FORCE! We're the smart ones...send the officers out to fight. :-)
jimgag2 thank you for your service and sacrifice! It’s good to hear you would do it again. God help us if this current generation ever has to defend this country on our own soil. I can’t imagine selfie obsessed kids actually strap up and fight with a bleeding sense of patriotism and desire to defend their freedom. They’d probably whine, pee their pants, and kiss the enemy’s ass.
I stayed up all night PRETENDING to sleep listening to my heart pound, next day was far better!!!
@@Drew791 I would kiss the enemy with a bullet
I've never seen a Drill Sargent that nice!!!
My Sr platoon Sgt was an Airborne Ranger/combat veteran & a TOP NOTCH NCO! SFC Hapney was the second best NCO I ever served under!(1st Sgt Lee at Bliss was the best!)
Rip Gernot E. Klinkenberger.the di at the beginning of the video.died 2013
Where’s the cursing... the knife hands... yelling about everything being his, get off my bus! Get out of my chow hall! No shark attacks. And my personal favorite... Platoon, front leaning rest position!
Exactly 💯
Blue disk? Sand Hill? Lmao. That drill sergeant in the video seemed to be a tough one. But a badass at the same time. He must have had a quite a few cuts in that video. He looked like a tough sob.
The drill sergeant is much too easy!
My drill sergeants were anything but easy and very profane. And although they could not outright beat us up you figured in your head because of the environment that it was that one of these drill sergeants could kill me for kicks and get away with it. They definitely did a good job at making it feel that way. And they did shoulder check you in the hallways as you were standing at parade rest or grab you I did see them take one guy down because the guy started mouthing off and he raced his hand kind of like his finger I think he was going to point at the drill sergeant to say something the drill sergeant took his arm and I didn't see the whole thing but that drill sergeant took that guy's arm and put him on the ground. It was an interesting experience I'm grateful for it though. I think back of this time in 1971 they were still refining their methods I think that basic training probably long ago was not that tough in terms of hazing however overtime I think it developed into something very hard and then started to get easier again.
Or maybe it's because the drill sergeant is just on camera so either it's because it was the era or it's because it was on camera my drill sergeant acted way different around other ncos I could only imagine they would act very different in front of the camera.
Dam a PFC Drill Sargent all mine were e-5 or higher.
I believe all the PFC's in the video were basically training aids like practice dummies not actually going through the course themselves.
Jim Scribner True that!
@@jimscribner8314 Roger that, I was wondering the same thing and came to the same conclusion.
Sergeant, Sergent, Sargent, Sir Gent! Lol!
ha i lived in those same barracks in 2017.
2017 😆
at ft bliss tx early 80's 6 drills all nam vets 60 ppl inda battery ! outstanding!
I guess they didn’t do the “shake, take, and salute” (13:00) back then 😂.
The PFC's trainees must have been the reservists. Army was hard up for DI's in the reserves. Baggy clothes and long hair = weird.
Must have gotten busted I remember at Parris island seeing a corporal who was a di
These recruits still have hair.
I joined the Army in 86. This was very toned down
North Ft. Polk, La. "Tiger Land" 1972
Mine were hardcore I'll never forget my ds
Travis Young Same here!
Where's the profanity ?
He's on camera. He's not going to be using profanity on camera in the 1971 believe me I'm sure that as soon as the tape started rolling he changed his tune and I'm sure as soon as it stopped rolling there was plenty of yelling in profanity I went through it in 2010 and there was tons of profanity haha so I would imagine in 71 it probably was even more.
I never once in a while you get a drill sergeant that's not that bad I mean they're all good they all teach you well but what I mean is once in a while you meet one that is not that harsh. I'd say that 90% of them are harsh and 10% of them are a little bit more chill not chill but just not as crazy as the other 90
Why are all recruits hair so long??
Exactly 💯
What Army was that from? My Drill seargents were psychopaths with drug and alcohol fueled tirades
Mine were pretty damn good at Ft. Polk. We had one who liked to drink a little bit much. He wound in the supply room taking inventory.
Hola sos el mejor
Wow is that phil Elmore @8:00
C-18-5 Ft Knox KY 1 AUG 1975, Drill Sergeants WASHINGTON, HERROD, and O'BRIAN.HOOAH, "BEAT YOUR FACE" !!!
PFC a Drill Sergeant?
There where E-3 in this video, something ain't right, you have to be E-5 to go to DS school. This video maybe not be 100% true, 13:42.
Weird!!! I wonder what was going on there! A PFC holding a drill hat!?
Sometimes there are exceptions if you’re exceptional. Also you have to remember that this was a completely different time than now. Back when I was going through Boot Camp, there was an E-4 Drill Sergeant. But he was exceptional he was a prodigy. Besides, the video is absolutely true. You’re literally seeing it before your very eyes lol...
Was 'shake and bake' still around in 1971? Otherwise, I was with an ROTC instructor unit at one time, all instructors were supposed to be E-5 and above, but we had plenty of E-4 and below, who had to wear Sgt. stripes, but were still PFC, Spec. 4 etc on paper. 'Acting Jack' it was called.
They were test dummies 😆
They got to keep their hair?!?!
They where fairly nice Atleast in the army circa Vietnam War.They where excellent in creative scatology.Although I have heard the Marines where violent.

FAIRLY REPRESENTATIVE OF MY OWN 1972 bct & 11b ait TNG @ fT pOLKS tiger land
If you were an infantryman weren't you going through OSUT instead of split basic and ait? I was a tanker and I went through the four month OSUT one station unit training at fort Knox I thought all combat arms did that. Did they change from doing what the rest of the army does?
@@staffordvenema5862 There was NO OSUT in the 70s. BCT @ Ft Dix then AIT for 11B @ Ft Polk or AIT for Armor @ Ft Knox ex.
I can't help thinking of Full Metal Jacket and Spinal Tap...but I knpow it's real. Part of me, most of me thinks, poor buggers, much better to be long haired rock 'n roll, banging chicks and smoking weed in 1971...this depersonalizes all the guys. On the otherhand, I know I have been a middel-aged teenager, and I am in trouble now.Lack of discipline and focus has cost me. Indulgent whining etc., I have no idea whether this kind of training would instill a sense of purpose or not...but when my life feels like a mess, and I panic, I think I need a little drill sergeant in me.
The Marine DI in Full Metal Jacket was actually the real deal. They hired him to coach the actor they were going to use but he did it so much better they fired the actor. and hired him for the role. My old man was a Marine DI. Serious alcoholic from being one of the first Marines to see Nagasaki after the Bomb. The shrink told him when he was taking the psych test for DI that he had slight schizophrenic tendencies. When he asked if that meant he was not qualified to be a DI the shrink said, "Oh no...that's one of the things the Marines LOOKS for in DI's." That was what I told anybody when they asked me why I enlisted in the Army. My mother used to say USMC stood for Uncle Sam's Mental Cases. Not entirely that far from the truth. After my first hitch in the Army I got out for ten years and among other things lived on a hippy commune for a couple of years sleeping out in a tepee with a hot crazy Jewish hippy chick. The sex was definitely better but I never worked harder for less money and after the AIDS epidemic broke out in the late '70's killing more people than everybody who died on both sides of the Vietnam War the free love thing sort of lost its appeal to me. I reenlisted in the '80's, married a Korean girl, and retired with a pension shortly after 911 before I turned 50. Best decision I ever made but each to their own, My best friend whose old man was a cop was the biggest hippy freak in town but after I went back in the Army he got a job with the Post Office, got married, and has a couple kids and house in Connecticut. We all got our own roads to travel in life with their own particular pluses and minuses. Whatever road you pick as long as you're still alive you must have done something smart because you can end up dying young whatever you do. :)
Gotta get those teeth fixed Troop, or it a joke? 14:19
